To List or Remove at Jobs
The cronadm command is used by a root user to list or remove all users crontab or at jobs.
The cron jobs are listed and removed by the UserName parameter. One or more UserNames can be specified. To list all cron jobs, do not specify a user. The at jobs are listed by UserName and can be removed either by the UserName parameter or by the JobName parameter.
